What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

[DragonLancer]

Thanks. I'll take a look.

The 2024 PHB. I got mine from a Barnes & Noble last Tuesday.

Goodman Games did a two-volume OAR set, but it's out of print and, even at the time, it was pricy.

Noble Knight has it at $80 at the moment. That's probably the best deal you'll see on it, although shipping to the UK will likely be unpleasant, especially considering how heavy the books are.

For some reason, that OAR and Into the Borderlands haven't commanded the (frankly) absurd prices that the others bring. Into the Borderlands typically brings about $40 and The Temple of Elemental Evil still brings just about retail ($75). There's always the chance that those prices will spike, though, so best to buy them now.

Got the Monster Cards for Volo's Guide To Monsters, made by Gale Force Nine.

Also saw the Wild Beyond the Witchlight and DragonLance Shadow of the Dragon Queen books both on sale for half price at a local game store so I grabbed them. They had big stacks of unsold stock of those two, as well as huge piles of unsold Strixhaven, Call of the Netherdeep and Radiant Citadel books also on sale. Might go back and grab a copy of Netherdeep too at some point but need to do some online checking first to find out if it's any good.

Next I want Curse of Strahd to collect some updated classic D&D. I take it Temple of Elemental Evil hasn't been updated since 3rd edition?

Princes of the Apocalypse is the closest thing from WotC for 5e

I hope this is only temporarily out of print, as WotC's printing capacity is taken up by the new core books. This was a well-liked book that I hope sticks around in physical form.

I would have assumed they'd let most of the adventures based on 2014 rules slowly but surely go out of print. "They'll be available forever [-ish] on D&D Beyond!" would be the semi-accurate tagline.

Yes, that is a surprise. I would expect ItB to go up once the 2024 starter box set comes out

I figured we'd see them fall off the schedule around the time we saw a version of them with 2024 rules -- maybe not everything from Yawning Portal, for instance, but maybe the best adventures, expanded and elaborated upon, for instance -- appear on the upcoming schedule.

And I certainly figured the outright stinkers would fall out of print first, rather than Ghosts of Saltmarsh, which I don't think anyone has any strongly negative things to say about, other than those who wanted more robust ship-to-ship combat rules.

It's quality may have led to higher sell-through, leading to earlier sell-out?

That checks out, compared to stacks of unsold Strixhaven. (Oh, how I wanted to love Strixhaven ...)
